How can I show a custom Form in a VB plugin? i just can't seem to do it... thanks
RE: Forms in VB6 by Dempsey on 05-24-2004 at 02:20 PM
frmName.show 1
RE: Forms in VB6 by Choli on 05-24-2004 at 02:22 PM
Form_name.Show vbModal
RE: Forms in VB6 by Alph on 05-24-2004 at 02:23 PM
why the "1"?? in VB I only code:
form.Show
and it works great 
RE: Forms in VB6 by Dempsey on 05-24-2004 at 02:24 PM
yea, that nortmally works fine, but it has to be shown modally because its in a plugin. the 1 or vbModal makes it modal.
And in case you don't know, Modal means its in front on the window its window its called from.

i'm working on a plugin. it's a voting plugin, when there are converstaions with many ppl, u can have a voting 
I'm calling it Democracy 
RE: Forms in VB6 by Dempsey on 05-24-2004 at 02:49 PM
sounds like a unique plugin idea, should be good.
I'm guessing all users will have to have the plugin?
RE: Forms in VB6 by Alph on 05-24-2004 at 02:57 PM
u supose correctly if i chose to have a graphical environment like a box asking what to vote on each voters pc. yet, i'm thinking of the voting procedure as a command like "!yes" or "!no". what do u think?
RE: Forms in VB6 by Dempsey on 05-24-2004 at 03:04 PM
yea maybe you could have options, and then people can decided which to use, graphical or commands
RE: Forms in VB6 by Alph on 05-24-2004 at 03:27 PM
but the doubt relies in:
- the graphical mode requires all voters to have the plugin
- the other one doesn't
RE: Forms in VB6 by Stigmata on 05-24-2004 at 03:44 PM
hmm
i think it should go to a page
where there are some graphs and stuff
different subject every now and again

Welcome to the forums, EverStyle 
Please dont discuss illegal things here.
We dont allow them.
The legal way to do this is to go and buy a copy of microsoft visual studio(it also includes vb)
I think that you can get Learning edition for free (or something like that) but you are not allowed to compile programs or use any controls that you add.

If you can, get a version of Visual Studio on a student licence: £100 instead of £600-£700.

quote:In fact, they need the plugin for both cases... A plugin can't simply read text that has been typed by your contacts. A plugin needs to be notified it has to do something. And in order to do that, plus needs to send a command to the plugin and it only does that when it recieves a command from a plugin (the plugin used by your contact)...
